1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years) this ingredient is considered very low risk when used on the skin. It’s a mild helper ingredient found in creams and lotions and is not linked to serious health problems in safety listings.
Use products made for babies or toddlers that include this ingredient. Patch-test a small area (inside elbow or behind knee) before using widely. Don’t apply creams to broken or irritated skin. Keep products away from the eyes and mouth and store them out of reach.
Safety listings note only low concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental effects; however, watch for any skin redness, rash, swelling, or other irritation after use and stop if these occur. If a reaction is more than mild or affects breathing, contact your pediatrician or emergency services. Also remember that overall product safety depends on all ingredients, not just this one — check the rest of the label for anything known to cause problems for young children.
